Image Fusiony Image Fusion is a combination of two or more

different images to form a new image.

y Ex

tracting information from multi-source imagesy Improves the spatial resolution for the original multi-

spectral image and preserve the spectral information.

y Image fusion can be done in three levels:

Pix

el level fusionFeature level fusion

Decision level fusion

Objective

y Image fusion based on wavelet transform and second

generation curvelet transform

y The proposed algorithm applied to

Multi-focus image fusion

Complementary image fusion

y Better description of the edges in images and analysis of

the features in images


4/11

Discrete Wavelet Transform

y Wavelet Transform exhibits time frequency localizationand yields acceptable fused output.

y The edges and singularities are not well represented.

y Suffers from limited directionality

y The point singularity is better suited for wavelets in 1D

signals ,but 2D signals like images have curve or line

singularities where wavelets fails to approximate.


5/11

Curvelet Transformy Curvelet Transform was proposed by Candes and Donoho

in 2000.

y It was derived from Ridgelet Transform.y It involves

First Generation CT

Second Generation CT


6/11

First generation curvelet

y Uses complex series of steps involving the ridgelet

analysis of radon transform of an image.

y Slow performance


7/11

Second generation curvelet

y Discards the use of the ridgelet transform, thus reducing

the amount of redundancy in the transform and increasesthe speed considerably.

y It have two types

Continuous CT

Discrete CT


8/11

Discrete Curvelet Transform

y Discrete curvelet transform (DCT) algorithms are

Un equispaced FFTTransform

The Wrapping Transform

y The Wrapping Algorithm has faster computation time.


9/11

Fast Discrete Curvelet Transform

y Frequency space is divided into dyadic annuli based on

concentric squares.y Each annulus is subdivided into trapezoidal regions.
